“Good evening, gentlemen!” said the vampire. “Please pay attention. I am a reformed vampire, which is to say, I am a bundle of suppressed instincts held together with spit and coffee. It would be wrong to say that violent, tearing carnage does not come naturally to me. It's not tearing your throats out that doesn't come easily to me. Please don't make it any harder.”

― Terry Pratchett, Monstrous Regiment

I think your busses at bare minimum need to run every 15 minutes if you want to claim that public transit is a viable option in your city.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Living near a 10-15 minute express bus means I don’t need to check schedules. I can just go. 15 minutes of waiting is a tolerable amount of time to plan for. Any more than that and you’ve gotta actively check schedules, potentially get to your thing like half an hour early. It’s annoying to the point where it starts eating up precious minutes of your day you could be spending eating a bagel.

[pingintech]

okay but i think its actually reasonable to have 30 minute wait if its reliable free goes everywhere and runs almost the entire day

[what-even-is-thiss]

It should do all those things and also run every 10 minutes. I’m upping my demands by 5 minutes because you suggested this. Every 30 minutes is what trains between nearby cities should have. If you think every 30 minutes is reasonable you either haven’t lived this reality or you’ve been so starved for decent transit that you’re willing to lower your standards way way below what they should be. What do I pay taxes for, dammit?

[athenadark]

most of the buses in my area run every quarter hour. I live in a small village. This is great, public transport is 9 times out of 10 the best option

however

there was quite recently THREE bus companies running buses every 15 minutes so there was a bus every 5 minutes, and a fourth going to the airport every 15 minutes

this might be ideal in areas where it makes life easier - like london's underground

in a small village that only justifies a double decker bus because they haven't any single ones but does go through a busy area close to town, this started to cause massive subsidence. A grade one listed farmhouse on the route started to shake itself into dust, they changed the route [which added the airline bus]

kids couldn't leave the primary school because of buses - buses where competing drivers were hanging out of their windows shouting abuse at other drivers

you couldn't walk your dog near the bus route because the dogs were terrorised by the noise

so the parish council [seriously we have one] wrote a very stern letter to the MP who had a stern word with the city council [won't work unles they have to] who ran a campaign as to find which company was best - then gave it to the one who paid the most [our city council is horrendously and infamously corrupt, which is why most people skip them]

now we just have the two companies, [including the skylink] so be careful what you wish for - because getting it at three hundred percent is a nightmare

Henry clearly did not enjoy his kingship. The gallant knight of the 1390s became in the following decade a sort of 'leper king'. For all his chivalric reputation and his real qualities of mind, he found himself diplomatically isolated and without the means to maintain an honourable court. He eschewed ceremonial display, and showed no inclination to maintain that carapace of regal splendour that Richard had assembled. His style of kingship doubtless reflected his personality and circumstances, including increasing financial stringency. It was also a political statement, an implicit contrast between Richard's lofty conception of monarchy and his own. It is particularly noteworthy that he neglected the sacral dimension of his kingship. Although he was the first king to be consecrated with the holy oil of St Thomas of Canterbury, he made surprisingly little of this fact. He discontinued Richard's participation in the liturgy at Westminster Abbey and his practice of regular crown-wearings. When he came to choose his burial-site a number of considerations militated against the royal mausoleum at Westminster. His decision to seek a resting-place at Canterbury close to the shrine of Thomas Becket, a national rather than a royal site, is perhaps his final testimony to his conception of his place in English history.
